"Akai VX 600 37-note Analog matrix synthesizer. It has been compared to a Oberheim Expander due to its Curtis VCA chipset. Otherworldly bleeps & bloops, thunderous growls & other strange noises can be found as well as some really lush strings, hard hitting brass, & thick tasty bass. It's a rare beast & and it does show a little bit of wear (a few scratches, the plastic has faded a little), but everything functions as it should to the best of my knowledge. The 4 pots on the left were designed to be used exclusively with the wind controller. AFAIK only the BEND pot has been found to actually affect certain patches without it, and even then only a little though there may be a setting that can be made to give it more range..."  Anyone confirm?
